Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1477 1149. Harm

Wu Ming simply pointed the direction to Lan En and described the address of the client she accepted. Lan En already had a rough idea in her mind.

The castle town of Iwamura Castle is not large, but it is still far away from a single resident family.

According to the location Wu Ming mentioned, the family she was actually tasked with exterminating demons was still two streets away from here!

This is too far.

Moreover, the two families are not even next to each other, whether vertically or horizontally, it doesn't matter at all.

The concept of "Remnant" is similar to Japanese ghost stories. It may be said that this phenomenon is the basis of Japanese ghost stories.

Logically speaking, only after entering the dead person's house and coming into contact will these things be contaminated on the person's body.

But how could it happen when the two families are so far apart?

"Yes, it's a coincidence."

Wu Ming blinked his eyes, with uncertainty in his tone, and a hint of subconscious resistance that was not easy to detect.

If two things that are not very likely happen in the same area at the same time, they may seem unrelated.

So compared to the fact that these two things really have nothing to do with each other and are just coincidences, there is another, greater possibility.

-The internal connection between these two things is so complex and tortuous that those who can only take a peek at it mistakenly believe that the two things are not related.

Wu Ming did not understand this concept, but she subconsciously felt that if this matter was really what the demon hunter in front of her said, then it would mean that there must be very bad consequences!

That's why there was this subconscious resistance in her expression.

For a city outside of a state of war, the death of a person is not a trivial matter. After the person dies, the city lord or the chief official will arrange for priests or onmyojis, or even people who know a little bit about rituals, to go and remove the [residues] .

Even if you don’t understand anything, ordinary people can complete the work as long as they have talismans or sacrificial vessels obtained from high-ranking priests and onmyojis.

The main threat to the human world has always been the possibility of summoning monsters and evil spirits, rather than [Zanhui] itself.

It is not difficult to remove under normal circumstances.

Therefore, after Wu Ming received the commission from the residents in the city to ‘eliminate [residues]’, it was not as simple as releasing his [Guardian Spirit] and swimming around for a while.

Out of professional ethics and her essentially simple character, she also has to deal with monsters that may have been attracted to her.

Therefore, when she was wandering around this place, she saw Lan En and Velvet Ball who were different from ordinary people, and began to observe them.

But now, even though Lan En has just stepped into this city and started to investigate the [dirty] that has contaminated him, he already feels that this [dirty] is completely abnormal!

"[The filth] will have an impact on people similar to what it did when it was formed."

Lan En concisely stated part of his summary of this supernatural pollution phenomenon.

"Now can you tell me about the client you received and what is happening to their family now?"

At this time, the old woman's body was still lying on the bed in their home.

Maybe two days ago, she and her son were still lying on this bed. Although they were not rich, at least they were still alive.

But now, her son died in Jusanying Village, and she herself died in the same way.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The cabin was dark and smelly.

But Wu Ming seemed to have thought of something under Lan En's reminder and relaxed a little.

"My employers, they say there are always children crying under the floorboards of their house."

Japanese-style buildings are sometimes like waterside buildings, using many short pillars to support the entire house to a small height.

This height basically allows people to squat or lie down to walk through it.

So if you occasionally hear something moving under the floor, it's probably a wild cat or dog.

Wu Ming waved his hand.

"The family knew it was abnormal as soon as they heard it, because their home is almost the same as here."

"It's basically a wooden hut built directly on the loess soil. How can it look like a big family's house? The space under the big house can be used for people to squat and walk. How can it be such a luxurious house?"

As he said that, Wuming pointed nonchalantly at the hut where they were now.

"Look, she hanged herself. It doesn't resemble a child at all."

"Her son just died in Shisanying Village outside the city. Before he died, he kept shouting for the baby to stop crying."

Before Wu Ming could say the word 'irrelevant', Lan En immediately told more about the situation.

Wu Ming's face, which had just shown some relief, froze completely as Lan En expected.

".Connected." Wu Ming's face was a little dull. "Shisanying Village, you're talking about the village that's a little more than a day's journey outside the city? How could it affect such a wide area?"

"It's one thing to have a wide range of effects." Lan En also frowned at the same time, "But it's also spreading in a serious city?"

[Remnant] itself should not have much destructive power, and even if it is ignored, it will fade away and disappear. But now, what is the situation that can spread like an infectious disease without any signs of weakening due to the extension of time and space?

The harm this can cause is completely different from normal situations!

Although Iwamura City was only a small military stronghold from Lan En's perspective, it was almost a fortress. But in Japan at this time, this was a real and important city with a name.

"No, that shouldn't be the case." Wu Ming waved his hand decisively and said, "Even if there are no famous shrines or temples in the city, it shouldn't be able to deal with [dirty]."

This is true, even the Shisan Sakura Village has its own means of exorcising evil spirits.

After surviving in this world so far, how is it possible that there is a settlement that cannot deal with [Filth]?

Even if you leave a space and leave it alone, waiting for it to decay and dissipate on its own, it can be considered a method.

But in today's Iwamura City, according to the meeting between Lan En and Ando Mamoru, the city lord really has no idea that such unreasonable "filth" has appeared in his territory.

"So," Lan En shrugged and raised his chin towards Wu Ming's corpse on the ground, "are you really sure now that you have successfully eliminated the [detritus] here?"

Wu Ming took off the evil ghost mask on his head, bit his lip and looked at the corpse.

The corpse that had hanged itself now looked no different from a normal corpse. Even Wuming himself felt the same way just now.

The dirty and gloomy atmosphere was swept away by her guardian spirit.

But after Lan En communicated the situation with her, she now felt that this corpse, which had been purified by the [Guardian Spirit], had a vague tendency to sink into darkness again.

This is [Guardian Spirit]!

Serious great priests or great monks, their spells and rituals are rarely comparable to the [Guardian Spirit] itself!

Can't it be removed even with this?

And there is more than one [Guardian Spirit] here, and the Ninja cat next to this man has been possessed by [Shansha].

In this small room, there are two [Guardian Spirits] that are rare and hard to find even in any country!

It's impossible for a normal [Remnant] to exist in this room.

"Anyway, let's place the body first."

Lan En spoke first in the heavy and silent atmosphere.

Wu Ming subconsciously opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

According to Wu Ming's custom, just tell the officials in the city about this kind of thing, and they will have corpse collectors come to deal with it.

She usually purifies the corpse first, and those corpse collectors who are ordered by the city government also have some tricks to deal with "detritus", so this is basically her habit.

But the current [detritus] is obviously not something that the body collectors can handle with their little tricks, so it’s better not to involve more people.

Lan En walked out of the house first and walked towards the nearby government officials.

Just after the meeting, Ando Mamoru said he would be allowed to investigate freely, but considering his "complicated and hidden" identity, it was still impossible to really let him go around alone.

Although the people accompanying him did not follow Lan En's words before, they were still waiting for him in the castle tower in the distance.

Just support these people and let them know that someone died in the city, and don't make a fuss or cause misunderstanding because Lan En and Wu Ming handled the corpse.

The old woman's hanging body was found in a secluded morgue.

This kind of abnormal [detritus] must not be buried in a cemetery outside the city no matter what.

The cemetery is already filled with gloomy energy, even if it is suppressed by a shrine. If it is mixed with this kind of abnormal "filth", God knows what will happen.

And by the time they placed the bodies, adhering to the principle of minimizing the involvement of others and controlling the spread of [detritus], it was already dark.

"Let's continue tomorrow." Lan En came out of the morgue and said to Wu Ming behind him. "If the main problem is the [Remnant] itself, although I am not an expert, we have to follow the clues to find out its source, right?"

"Find out the source of [Remnant]?" Wu Ming hit his forehead with the heel of his palm and said distressedly. "Not good at it at all."

In the past, when did a person like her, who was protected by the [Guardian Spirit], really care about the [Filth]?

In Japan, due to the cultural integration of Shinto animism and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, [guardian spirits] are collectively referred to as 'gods and Buddhas'.

In other words, a person who carries a guardian spirit is a person who is "protected by gods and Buddhas."

[Remnant] will only make ignorance and vigilance against those monsters that may be attracted.

She has never specifically looked for the cause of the [dirty] occurrence.

If she happened to encounter the whole story of [Zanhui], she wouldn't object to doing something heroic.

But if she didn't meet him, she wouldn't be persistent, she would just leave after being purified.

After all, Japan is in troubled times now, and even if she is a 'person protected by gods and Buddhas', she only has so much energy and time. I can't control the tragedies all over the world.
